Note: This has been unreported for a long time and it's probably the real reason for MC-216561 as unless there happens to be a random block behind the torch it won't generate making torches rarer. Also could possibly be the reason for MC-216432
Bug Description: This is probably a recurrence of MC-124966, all torches in mineshafts are now facing the wrong way. This apart from being a bug in of itself probably makes torches rarer as those won't generate unless they happen to have a random supporting block generate. I also do not know the first version this started to occur in.
Expected Behaviour:
All torches in mineshafts generate attached to the wooden support pillars

Observed Behaviour:
All torches generate rotated 180* in the other direction

How to reproduce:
Locate any mineshaft structure (it doesn't matter whether it's above or below y0) and find any torches you will find that all of them are rotated
well because of the fix to MC-124966 they can't

Please Re-open.
Please provide a world seed and X Y Z coordinates to the location of the torch issue, @pneuma01. If you have any deviation in world generation settings, please provide them in your response.
@Pneuma01, I have removed your attachment because it appears this is a different bug than the one this report is about. This report was mostly about floating torches (though the description was not clear enough).
Please search if a report about the issue you are experiencing already exists (from what I can see that appears to not be the case) and if not please create a separate new report containing (as pointed out by Michael Compton) the seed and coordinates.
Ahhh! Sorry I didn't check the message.
But this problem can easily be seen in any underground. Please go underground in spectater mode and explore the Mineshaft. There are few torches there.

Pneuma01, this appears to be a different bug where the torch is attached to the wrong block. Could you please search if an existing report already exists and if not create a new one. Feel free to mention this report then so we can mark the reports as related.
I see. thanks.
